Be Bear AwareBears Feeding In Preparation for WinterJust like everyone else, black bears are getting ready for winter. For bears, that means feeding 20 hours per day and packing on enough calories to prepare for hibernation. Snowmass Village is in prime black bear habitat, and bears will venture into populated areas in search of food. Although less human-bear conflicts are anticipated this year, residents and guests should stay diligent about securing their garbage, food, homes, and vehicles during this time. It could save a bear's life.Bear Aware Tips:- Use wildlife resistant garbage containers, and keep them in a secured area until trash day.
- Keep all pet food within your home or in a secure container, and feed pets inside.
- Do not use bird-feeders in the summer or fall.
- Thoroughly clean barbecue grills after each use.
- Avoid the use of citronella and scented candles, which can attract bears.
- Keep windows and doors locked.
- Never feed wildlife, of any type.
Learn more about bear awareness, and what you should do if you encounter one, by following the link to the Colorado Parks and Wildlife below.
